Travel nurse quest about endorsement

U.S.A. California

Published

Hi all, I am due to start my first travel assignment in panama city california at a kaiser permanente hospital. I applied for licensure by endorsement the first week of feb. Everything is sent to them except i have not yet received my fingerprint cards. I failed to apply for a temp licence. Would i still be able to do the walk thru after i already applied through the mail? I am having a hard time talking to someone at the board. I already mailed the fee for the fingerprint cards and the endorsment fee. They have not cashed the check yet, which leads me to believe that they have not started to process my application. What should i do? Should i just go to the police station and send them fingerprint cards from there and apply for a temp? Or should i just try to do a walk thru. Please any info will be very appreciated. Also any info about the location at panama city would be helpful . Oh by the way, my assignment starts march 16th so not much time. help!

Thanks

As long as they have the verification from wher you currently are licensed and have your transcripts from your nursing school, you can do a walk thru and get a tempoary license that day. Much faster to go with the LiveScan then the fingerprint cards as well. And that can be done the same day at the Dept of Justice in Sacramento.

If you applied the first week of February and they have not cashed your check, suggest that you verify that they even received the application with the payment. They will cash the check before they begin processing, so they may not have even recieved it either.

As long as you follow what I posted at the top here, then you just to to the office for the BRN in Sacramento when you arrive in CA>
